Introduction to Shoulder Issues

Physical Therapy in Bedford and Irving for Shoulder

Welcome to the Barkman & Smith Physical Therapy’s resource about shoulder issues.

A shoulder injury can happen in any sport, and shoulder pain can be brought on from something as simple as sleeping in the wrong position.  Whether you have damaged your rotator cuff because you were a little too overzealous at touch football with your friends on Sunday, or you are sore from trying to weed the garden and paint the garage in one afternoon, this is the part of our website that we have designed with you in mind.

It is our aim to provide you with the information and tools to help you recover from a shoulder injury and to prevent future injuries from occurring.

When you have proper information about how to stay healthy, you will find that your playtime will be more rewarding, your sleep with be more sound and your daily grind won't wear you down.

“ Chase and Liz are great. They listen to your concerns, answer all your questions, and walk you through exercises that get you physically where you need to be. I had great results when they PTed my shoulder from a torn rotator cuff. I’m so thankful a friend of mine suggested I go to Barkman & Smith off Golden Triangle. ”

“ Ron Barkman is a god among men. He and his team helped me get my life back after I dislocated my shoulder. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging. They get to know you by name. When I finally completed my physical therapy I was actually sad that I wouldn’t be going back anymore. Thank you Ron and Vince for operating such a quality establishment. ”

“ I came to Barkman and Smith as a result of a car wreck. For two weeks I tried to live with the muscle spasms under my left scapula. It felt like a tennis ball under my scapula. I am a professor at TCC. My duties of teaching, grading, and computer work just aggravated the problem. After about three sessions at Barkman and Smith I started to experience results. Although no one wants to be in a car wreck, this one had a silver lining. As it turns out, the PT I received for my muscle spasm due to the wreck also worked wonders for relieving overall back and neck tension. My home program is now a tool I can use all of the time to help back and neck tension due to my profession. Four weeks of therapy and My back spasms are gone, no meds, just PT! The staff, techs, and PTs are very friendly and helpful. As a side note, ask Peter, one of the PTs, to demonstrate maxing out all the weight machines! ”
